14 YEAR OLD WINS PLAYOFF IN 1ST GOLFWEEK TOUR START

Sanford, NC

April 27, 2013

Fourteen-year old Scott Campbell of Greensboro made his Golfweek Amateur Golf Tour debut at Carolina Trace Country Club a successful one.

Along with winning the A Flight in a sudden death playoff, he managed to hit his shot to within a few inches on the second closest-to-the-pin hole to capture that prize, and topped it off by winning a "Skin" in his flight's Skins Pool.

Ironically, Campbell, after all the fine shots he hit all day, won his "sudden death" playoff with Rockingham's Todd Wallace (who was also playing in his 1st Tour event) with a double bogey on their 4th extra hole. Wallace encountered a problem coming out of the greenside bunker to kill any chance he had for the playoff win.

"We have a pretty famous local Tour Alumnus from Fayetteville, David Chung, who went on to play #1 for Stanford University, got to the Finals of the United States Amateur, and qualified for The Masters a few years back", said Tour Director Bruce Hallenbeck. "He also started in the A Flight with us when he was only 14 years old. He quickly graduated to Championship Flight and there was no holding him back. With Scott, we may have someone with the same potential".

Pinehurst's Tom Kubla was the victor in the tightly contested B Flight with an 83 - 1 stroke ahead of Raleigh's Richard McMinis. Last week's winner, Steve Marinelli of Cary rounded out the top 3.

In the C Flight, Fayetteville's Johnny Sears shot an 89 and enjoyed a 3 shot cushion over 2 golfers: Will Staten, also of Fayetteville, and Jamestown's James Snipes. Like his A Flight counterparts Campbell and Wallace, Snipes was also competing in his 1st Tour event.

The Championship Flight belonged to Mark Macejko of Vass who shot a 74, while Zebulon's Greg Dauscher stood alone in the D Flight with a 97.

Next stop on the Golfweek Amateur Tour is at Forest Oaks Country Club in Greensboro, which for years hosted the Greater Greensboro Open on the PGA Tour. There are openings for that event.

"Improve your golf mental toughness 10-fold"

Every golfer has heard the saying "It's all in your head" or "Golf is 90% mental" or "Golf is the most mentally demanding sport in the world." Yet what do golfers do about it? Well, most often absolutley nothing! Not necessarily because they don't want to, but sometimes golfers actually think the mental game doesn't matter to them!

Click Here to Unlock Your Mind and Shoot Better Golf

EVERY golfer can benefit from increasing their mental toughness and harnessing the full power of thier mind!

Many golfers naively get stuck into thinking that the mental game only matters for elite players or pros who make a living golfing. Nonsense! EVERY golfer needs to use their mind properly.

• It is your mind that determines how well you learn when taking lessons. (and this training course is packed with accelerated learning techniques that will have you absorbing more from lessons)

• It is your mind that will allow you to set up to the ball correctly and commit to your swing (or not!).

• It is your mind that will either stay focused under pressure and get you to make a smooth, fluid stroke when you need to drain an 8 footer for the win, or have you choking like a dog and collapsing like a house of cards when the heat is on!

Tour Weather Guidelines:

Primarily, we adhere to the same guidelines that the PGA Tour uses: If the course is open, we're going to play.

The only exception to this is that I'll never put any of you in harm's way during an event because of dangerous weather. (i.e. - lightening or severe cold and wetness).

In other words, I won't let the course "bully" us into playing where an unsafe condition might exist.

Because I arrive at every event at least two hours prior to the start time and I generally have to leave my house at least an hour before that to get to the course, there is no sense calling me just before the event, because I won't be at the office. The best avenue to take is to call the course if the weather seems threatening.

If you are on the roster for the event, and you do not get a cancellation notice from the course after calling them, you are expected to show up in time for the scheduled shotgun start.
